I wasn't trying to compare who was better. It was said Samir had the first Christmas tree ever...the photo of Arnold I posted was taken years before Samir jumped onstage with that Christmas tree. So, he wasn't the first...that's all I was attempting to prove.

samir in 1983 showed an amazing well balanced body . arnold too much chest and biceps weak thighs . sergio . smooth many times . lee haney weak arms and calves and so on . yates was a bit blocky . zane flat chest too small .. only bannout in 1983 was without flaws like padilla in 1981 ..

That doesn't surprise me. When I watched him pose I thought that he seemed like a really nice guy. Then I got the Superstars of Muscle video that focuses on the lead up to the 1990 Olympia and I noticed a few things in the vid that made me think he was a little bit arrogant. Like his now ex-wife talking about how she cooks all his food and makes sure it's prepared exactly how he likes it. She comes across like he sought of demands it of her. Just my opinion though.
